Mycology

The Mycology Subject Matter Committee of APS provides members with information and guidance on fungi and current issues in mycology. Through discussion sessions, symposia, workshops, articles, electronic communication, letters, and personal contacts, the committee provides APS members with a mycology resource sensitive to the needs of plant pathologists yet in touch with the current activities of specialist mycologists. Furthermore, the Mycology Committee acts as an informal link between APS and the Mycological Society of America (MSA). The specific aims of the APS Mycology Committee are to foster communication between plant pathologists and mycologists and to provide APS members with the best information and guidance possible on mycological issues, including current taxonomy, genetics, and economic and regulatory issues involving fungal plant pathogens.
